Compare 2/6 and 5/8 using benchmark number. Which number can you use to compare these fraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is  close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.

Answer:

the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

4y = 3x

And,

12y = 9x

Here the equation that represent proportional relationship is

4y = 3x

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3x ÷ 4

Now

12y = 9x

divides both sides by 12

y = 9 ÷ 12x

y = 3 ÷ 4x

y = 0.75x

so the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Janet’s car insurance payment decreases by $20 each year. Which expressions represent the total change in her payment,in dollars
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

C.  5•(-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the insurance payment for the car follows a certain pattern that can be represented through an expression. The payment is decreasing by $20 every year. As we don't know the total payment amount per period, so we cannot calculate how much is paid per period/year for insurance but we can calculate the rate at which this payment is decreasing.

Change in payment = t * (-20)

The above expressions can be used to calculate the amount of change in payment i payment is decreasing by a constant $20 every year, after t years.

So, if we want to calculate the change in payment after say 5 years, we can replace t with 5 in the equation and calculate the change,

Change in payment = 5 * (-20)

Change in payment = - $100

Ryan has $3$ red lava lamps and $3$ blue lava lamps. He arranges them in a row on a shelf randomly, then turns $3$ random lamps
hjlf

There are 6! = 720 ways of arranging the lamps.

If the leftmost lamp is red, there are 3 choices of lamp in the leftmost position, and the remaining 5 can be placed in any order, so there are 3×5! = 360 ways of arranging the lamps and the leftmost is red.

Hence there is a 360/720 = 1/2 probability that the leftmost lamp is red.

Ignoring lamp color for the moment, the probability of arranging 3 lit lamps and 3 unlit lamps is the same, 1/2.

Since Ryan arranges the lamps randomly by color, then turns 3 of them on randomly, the two events are independent. So

P(leftmost red AND leftmost lit) = P(red) × P(lit) = 1/2² = 1/4
